Time stamp of the last time server check (this is not the time of the last contact to the server): A check is run every 30 minutes with NTP, every 6 hours with RFC868.

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss

$(ID.TSO)

Time server offset in milliseconds (NTP only)

e.g. 0.073

$(ID.PTS)

If the camera time is set to a point in the future, this counter is increased by the time difference in seconds. It serves the detection of camera time changes to prevent manipulation of recordings.

0..4294967295

$(ID.NTS)

Like $(ID.PTS), but counting changes to the past.

0..4294967295

$(ID.CTX[.ALL|.<n>])

Returns text lines from IP Receive and the serial interface. .ALL returns all available lines, .<n> up to n lines (maximum of 64 lines possible). Corresponds to $(ID.CTX.1) when called without parameters.

Several strings

$(ID.CTX.LIP[.DAT|.TIM|.SRC|.MSG])

Returns the last text line from IP Receive, if available. .DAT limits the output to a certain date, .TIM to a certain time, .SRC to an IP address and port of the sender and .MSG to the message itself. Corresponds to $(ID.CTX) and returns all lines when called without parameters.

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss IP:port string

$(ID.CTX.LRS[.DAT|.TIM|.SRC|.MSG])

Returns the last text line from the serial interface, if available. .DAT limits the output to a certain date, .TIM to a certain time and .MSG to the message itself. Corresponds to $(ID.CTX) and returns all lines when called without parameters.

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss "RS232" string

SEN / SENSOR: Sensor Information

$(SEN.INA) to $(SEN.INP)

Status of the signal inputs: If an ExtIO is attached, these variables show their statuses. Otherwise, the variables show the status of the inputs of the MX-232-IO-Box (INA to IND: 7.1 to 7.4, INE to INH: PIR to Bpc, INI to INP: ERT mode of the inputs, also in the order of 7.1 to Bpc). Only if no MX-232-IO-Box is not present, the variables will show the statuses of the on-board inputs.

0, 1

$(SEN.BTL)

State of the left camera key

This value will only be displayed if the Microphone event or the level meter has been activated.

0..100

$(SEN.ILR)

Illumination level of the right lens, where 0: dark, 1000: direct sun at the equator at noon

0..1000

$(SEN.ILL)

0..1000

$(SEN.LXR)

Lux value of the right lens

0..100000

$(SEN.LXL)

Number of the triggered motion window for VM2

(Comma-separated list with window numbers)

$(SEN.TIN.CELSIUS)

Internal camera temperature in degrees Celsius

°C

$(SEN.TIN.FAHRENHEIT)

Internal camera temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

°F

$(SEN.TEX.CELSIUS)

Only with ExtIO! Temperature of the ExtIO in degrees Celsius

°C

$(SEN.TEX.FAHRENHEIT)

Only with ExtIO! Temperature of the ExtIO in degrees Fahrenheit

°F

$(SEN.TGP.CELSIUS)

°F

$(SEN.GST)

Only with MX-GPS-Box! Shows the number of satellites used to obtain the fix and the total number of reachable satellites.

$(SEN.GPS)

Only with MX-GPS-Box! Shows the position in degrees of longitude and latitude. In addition, the box also shows the precision of this value in meters. Note that the availability of this value depends on the reception status of the MX-GPS-Box.

° & m

$(SEN.GAL)

Only with MX-GPS-Box! Shows the elevation above Mean Sea Level and the precision of this value. Note that the availability of this value depends on the reception status of the MX-GPS-Box. Note that $(SEN.GPS) may already deliver a position, but the elevation cannot be determined yet.

m

$(SEN.GVE)

Only with MX-GPS-Box! Shows the current speed and the precision of this value. Note that the availability of this value depends on the reception status of the MX-GPS-Box. Note that $(SEN.GPS) may already deliver a position, but the speed cannot be determined yet.

m/s

$(SEN.GDI)

Only with MX-GPS-Box! Shows the direction of movement and the precision of this value. Note that the availability of this value depends on the reception status of the MX-GPS-Box. Note that $(SEN.GPS) may already deliver a position, but the direction of movement cannot be determined, although the box is measuring significant movement.

TEXT: Text Variables

$(TEXT.FTPDIR)

Default path for FTP image storage

<hostname>/YYYY/MM/DD/hh/

Formatting Commands

The formatting commands take a value and are separated by commas (",") one after another.FORMATTINGOPTION1=VALUE, FORMATTINGOPTION2=VALUE

Option

Description

Note

LEN
LENGTH

This parameter sets the width of the text output. The remaining space is filled using the fill character. "0" is variable width. If the text is larger than defined in LENGTH, the output width is enlarged automatically, if the Formatting SwitchTRUNCATE has not been set.

Default value: 0

Reasonable maximum values and image sizes:

Image Size

Maximum Value

PDA: 160x120

20

CIF: 320x240

40

VGA: 640x480

80

MEGA: 1280x960

160

If higher than the maximum values in this table are used, the characters are wrapped to the next line.

0..512

FIL
FILL

Sets the fill character to be used to format the output. This command takes one character. Superfluous characters will be ignored.

Default value: [Space]

Any character

ALI
ALIGN

This parameter sets the alignment of the text output within the specified length.

Default value: LEFT

RIGHT, CENTER, LEFT

Formatting Switches

The formatting switches do not take a value and are separated by commas (",") one after another.

Switch

Description

Note

DEF
DEFAULT

Uses the default settings for this variable

GLO
GLOBAL

Sets the values of this variable as global default for all following variables.

Note: Combining DEFAULT and GLOBAL will reset the values to the camera's default settings.

TRU
TRUNCATE

Cuts off any text longer than specified by LENGTH.

B64
BASE64

Switches text output to Base64 encoding (this is required by some email servers, for example)

Use this switch to supply user information, for example: $("admin:meinsm", BASE64).
